Gîte de la Paille
Owners of an on-site craft brewery ("La Paille" beer / tours and tastings available), Julien and his partner Céline welcome you to a charming, authentic, and characterful 19th-century stable, carefully restored on a former agricultural estate. Enjoy tranquility in the heart of the Cluny countryside, nestled in a charming, typical, and unspoiled little village built like an amphitheater, on a site steeped in history (the location of Lourdon Castle, the first priory-castle of the abbots of Cluny, whose 11th-century remains still exist), in a bucolic valley of wooded meadows, just a stone's throw from a vast wild forest. The surrounding countryside is magnificent, gently rolling, a mix of hedged meadows, vineyards, fields, and beautiful wild forests (protected as a Natura 2000 and ZNIEFF site for its rich flora and fauna). A truly enchanting setting. Spacious and comfortable cottage. Warm country charm with contemporary touches, a "family home" feel enhanced by careful heritage renovation (preservation of elegant stone walls, wooden window lintels, and original timber framing). Cozy and inviting atmosphere. Beautiful "cathedral" bedrooms (generous proportions) nestled under the eaves, creating a cozy "cocoon" effect. Large gravel terrace, shaded and sunny (depending on the day), opens onto a pleasant enclosed garden, a perfect playground for children, adjoining a gentle pasture (where the owners' peaceful goats graze).
